my fixed 10x42 scope is not adjustable and has factory set parallax at 300m. Works great out to 600 yards. Just not as great at 6 yards....
All scopes will work well at any range as long as you have your eyeball centered in the exact center of the scopes eyepiece. Any variation at any range other than the distance the scope was manufactured for, in most cases 100 yrds, will result in misses caused by parallax error. The side or front parallax adjustments help with eyeball placement but are far from foolproof.my fixed 10x42 scope is not adjustable and has factory set parallax at 300m.

Can you cite any respected source for this statement?All scopes will work well at any range as long as you have your eyeball centered in the exact center of the scopes eyepiece.

Yes, I can as a matter of fact. I will have to go back into the archives but you can do the same simply by researching parallax error and it's causes.Can you cite any respected source for this statement?
I'll be looking forward to that.Yes, I can as a matter of fact. I will have to go back into the archives but you can do the same simply by researching parallax error and it's causes.
And I will be looking forward to your rebuttal research on the issue. If you are too lazy to do the research then keep your mouth shut. Here is something for you to consider...from Burris.I'll be looking forward to that.

Get your head out of your *** and smell the roses. What is your come back. Do you have anything to refute this or are you simply wasting my time as well as the others here? I'm not going to reply to your childish come backs until you have something constructive to add to the discussion. Don't waste my time and the time of others here. I did watch the video, maybe you should too. It explains parallax pretty well to most people with a brain. Sorry folks, sometimes the comments here do not make sense, but so be it.You probably should have watched that video before posting it since it doesn't support your statement above.
She actually does a pretty decent job of explaining it.

The problem is that while you may not see the crosshair moving around you still have the issue of not knowing your actual POA without eliminating the Parallax.https://www.rifleshootermag.com/editorial/shooting_tips_rs_shiftingview_200910/84208.
From the same article
"Remember, parallax is no problem at all if your eye is on the scope's axis, regardless of range, magnification or exit pupil size."
So yes She is correct that if you keep your eye perfectly centered on the scopes axis parallax is not a concern. Now from a practical standpoint at high magnification and long range the execution of this without an external adjustment can prove to be quite difficult. Thus the addition of parallax adjustment on high power scopes intended for long range use. For traditional shorter ranges of shooting it is of course less a concern. Especially at lower power.
